Jim from Ruckus explains the physics behind Ruckus access point antennas in depth. Understanding these principles can significantly improve Wi-Fi signal quality. Most omnidirectional Ruckus access points, such as the R770, should be ceiling-mounted with the dome facing downward to achieve the best coverage. Sectorized BeamFlex+ antennas have their own design characteristics that allow them to provide both wide and narrow coverage sectors where needed. Enjoy the video!

The CWNA course was quite simple and logical. Perhaps there was too much emphasis on antenna systems, which in my case is mostly primary-school-level material, since I was already actively calculating cable attenuation, antenna dBi values, and building amplifiers, receivers, and transmitters back then.
At the same time, it is good to see that the fundamental things have not been forgotten in the maze of IT. I actually passed the …
By early 2026, the 802.11be (Wi-Fi 7) standard has reached a level where we feel confident recommending Wi-Fi 7 investments for all enterprise networks.
The previous standard, Wi-Fi 6 (802.11ax), has been in broader use since 2020. This means the standard has been in active use for several years, and in the coming years Wi-Fi 6 will start moving into a “regular” or mature standard—similar to what has happened with …
This year’s Startup Day, that took place from 28th to 30th January 2026, marked a special milestone: 10 years of bringing founders, investors, and innovators together to shape the future. To celebrate the anniversary, the event was brought back to the Estonian National Museum — a symbolic venue that reflects both the roots and the ambition of the startup ecosystem.
Over the past decade, Startup Day has grown from …
Helsinki, Finland — The Cyber Security Nordic trade fair, held on 4–5 November 2025, brought together trainers, cybersecurity professionals, policymakers, youth work specialists, and technology innovators from across the Nordic–Baltic region for a full day of discussions focused on cybersecurity, artificial intelligence, ethics, education, and digital resilience.
At the same time as the larger Cyber Security Nordic conference and exhibition, the Cybercation 2025 cybersecurity competition took place at the Helsinki …
This feature allows to save PoE budget and use more devices on the same Ruckus PoE switch.
Dynamic Power Allocation is supported on ICX 7550, 7650, 8100, and 8200 series switches.
ICX8200-C08PF Router(config)#inline power allocation dynamic
Required Software Version
Switches must run software version 10.0 or higher to enable dynamic power allocation features. You can still tune the final results with inline power e 1/1/3 priority 1, this priority cancels …
Ruckus’ newest outdoor AP has 12.8 dBi (narrow) and 11.3 dBi (wide) fixed sector antennas, selectable through software configuration. These APs are intended for large venues where the beam can be adjusted according to the needs of the event. The AP does not support the BeamFlex smart antenna system, but it does include Wi-Fi 7 with MLO and high-power transmission: 5 GHz 28 dBm (4x4 MIMO) and 6 GHz 35 …
3KGroup, in collaboration with Plume, has taken an important step to make Plume services even more convenient for Estonian, Finnish, and Swedish-speaking users.
As of today, the following end-customer Plume applications are officially available in the most widely used local languages of our region on both Android and iOS platforms:
The next slide shows how to change startup config and firmware image files, in the following image there is no alternative firmware yet present.
Just apply and restart the switch…
What are the major practical differences between these standards?
The Wi-Fi 6 (802.11ax) 2.4/5 GHz standard introduces OFDMA modulation and data multiplexing, which means that multiple clients can communicate over the air at the same time. This is a very important aspect, because in Wi-Fi each packet transmission (from AP or client) usually has to wait for the air to be free (due to the mandatory CSMA/CA algorithm). This takes …
